Further to our earlier news of all the epsiode details for the upcoming Showtime cable network series, Masters of Horror (see here for the full details), word has now reached us, via Fangoria, that veteran director Roger Corman has had to remove himself from filming the epsiode Haeckel’s Tale due to personal reasons.

Corman has now been replaced by one of our favourite directors at eatmybrains (see May) - Lucky McKee, who will now be directing a script called Sick Girl written by Sean Hood.

In other Masters of Horror news, Claudio Simonetti's band Daemonia announced at their recent gig in London that they'd just finished the score for Dario Argento's Jennifer episode.

It is also now looking likely that the series will be getting some theatrical exposure, mostly likely in Europe, where segments may be paired up.
